Meeting the needs of every hospital discharged patient can be challenging. We needed to do more for patients who could not easily access healthcare. They waited too long to seek care for their chronic illnesses and arrived in our ED instead of an MD office or clinic. In collaboration with county public health nurses and county fire EMTs, we created a no cost program to visit our patients who could not get standard post-acute services to their home. Unlimited visits and phone calls, basic health care tools and DME are provided as well as teaching. One-year results are so great, we have now been funded to continue and expand to provide a sustainable program.

Course Objectives:

  • Identify patients discharged from home with post-acute needs that cannot be met by contracted providers.
  • Develop KPIs for a program to measure success for continuation.
  • Utilize partners/resources in the community to assist in a pilot program.

    Karen Vanaskie was one of case management's brightest and most dedicated professionals. She was serving as Secretary / Treasurer on the ACMA National Board of Directors at the time of her unexpected passing on June 21, 2024.

    At the request of Karen's family, ACMA has set up the Karen Vanaskie Scholarship Fund. Karen was passionate about the need for case management certification. She actively supported her staff in pursuing the Accredited Case Manager (ACM) Certification. To continue her legacy, this scholarship fund will cover the cost of their ACM certification application fee for those to whom it is awarded. We believe this continues Karen's legacy.

    To apply for the scholarship, click here. For eligibility details, please see below.

    To donate to the scholarship fund in Karen's memory, click here.
    ACMA and APLCM are proud to announce the latest iterations of the National Case Management and Transitions of Care Survey and the Physician Leaders in Care Management Survey, which have been the only source of comprehensive data for the case management industry since 2001. This ongoing research incorporates over 20 years of data, offering invaluable insights into the evolving landscape of case management, transitions of care, and physician advising.
